A free app has been launched to help drivers automatically be reimbursed the right amount for mileage expenses.
Autotrip allows drivers to record every business trip they make using their phone’s GPS and submit accurate mileage claims.
The app, available on iOS and Android, runs automatically in the background and records every single mile driven. Drivers can then classify trips made as business or personal with a single swipe, before submitting the mileage claim, including all of their business trips for the month, to their employer.
The businesses approving claims can quickly review every trip on a map, store all claims online and set their own custom mileage rates if needed.
“Our customers have long asked for this and we’re excited to bring to market a reliable mileage tracking app that’s suitable for any business size, regardless of whether you’re a self-employed individual or a large fleet with hundreds of drivers,” said Autotrip MD James Finlayson.
Autotrip, based in London, says private trips are visible only to the driver, ensuring their privacy is respected. It also calculates the VAT amount businesses can reclaim on their fuel expenses and comes with an unlimited trip allowance.
Autotrip also offers a GPS mileage tracking device that can be plugged into any vehicle as an alternative to the smartphone’s GPS. The device can be trialled for 14 days for free and added to the driver account for just £5.99 + VAT per month.
Autotrip also offers a team plan for larger fleets, which gives access to in-depth analytics and a centralised account to manage the company’s business mileage with ease.
